I have a D-Link wireless router - there are options to change from
the WEP 128 bit encryption to WPA personal. Would doing this

WEP will lock out 99.9%.
WPA is better (but pls remember to use a long key).
You could also set your router to only talk to specific MAC
addresses. That way your users have to be on a specifically
authorized computer AND know the WEP or WPA key.
I was thinking I could perhaps create another network name and WPA
and perhaps stay hidden from her brother.
Not worth the effort, IMO. Just secure what you have and let the
cops handle any further threats.
